What is Dolomite?
Dolomite, also known as dolomitic limestone, is a sedimentary rock composed primarily of calcium magnesium carbonate. It forms naturally over millions of years through the interaction of limestone and magnesium-rich waters. The result? A beautiful stone that looks similar to marble, but with added durability and resistance to wear.
Unlike pure calcium carbonate stones like traditional limestone or marble, dolomite contains a balance of calcium and magnesium, making it ideal for applications where strength and longevity are essential. This unique mineral structure gives it a refined texture with subtle crystals, offering a clean, elegant aesthetic suitable for both modern and classic designs.
Why Choose Dolomite Slabs?
- Beautiful Natural Colours: From soft greys to warm creams, and even bold, veined patterns, dolomite offers a wide range of natural hues that complement any interior or exterior design.
- Durable and Resistant: More hard-wearing than marble, dolomite withstands daily use and resists scratching, making it ideal for vanities, benchtops, and tiles in high-traffic areas.
- Low Maintenance: With proper sealing, dolomite surfaces are easy to clean and maintain, offering lasting beauty with minimal effort.
- Versatile Applications: Perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, floors, walls, pathways, and more – whether for a residential renovation or a commercial fit-out.
- A Sophisticated Solution: Its natural crystal composition delivers a sleek and refined appearance that instantly elevates any space.
